hey anyone interested in racing a non clip event. i here alot of negativity surronding who is the fastest at the track. Not just the old croud but everyone. i think that the kids need to learn to ride with out clips. Dope would put up the prizes. let me know if anyone is interested.

Mike,
A "Fastest On Flats" would be fun to do. I have been pushing a lot of people to ride platforms for the last couple of years and even have gone so far as challenging everyone to race Tuesday nights without clips. Riding in "clips only" does attribute to some bad habits and learning to ride on platforms, effectively, will definetly make for a better rider.
I havent picked up any negativity on this subject but there has been some debate over who the fastest amatuer is locally. It could be ran as a 14 & over open like the old days when they ran this class to determine who the world champion was.
A little healthy competition, with no negativity, is always a good thing.

I think it's a great idea!! how about a no clip series! One race every two weeks or so. Maybe a two moto total points, top 8 to the main? I would love to watch all the top Am's tear it up on flats! have a year end podium with awards! it would be cool to say you won the flats series title!
my top 8. ( i'm sure I'll forget someone so I reserve the right to add to my list later.) No particular order!
- Travis Healey
-Steve Spencer
-Jason Melton
-Joe Wienbrenner
-sunshine Fazzio
-Danny Patterson
-Brandon Smith
-Cody Lowery
-Jason Stout
OK that's 9, gives me a better chance of being right!!! But on flats you never know? And is the starter of this post in? I can say that because I'm on your pay roll! Peace,TP

Variety is the spice of life!
Let me know when it will happen so I can go buy some platform pedals!
Just out of curiosity...what are the advantages of training/riding platforms?
Steve Spencer? Jason Melton? Jeremiah Fazzio? I know ya'll switch back and forth- what does it do for you?

lets do it. dp would be great. lets get together and encompass all the tracks and have a non clips series. i think i would help the kids learn to not rely on the clips to help in their skills. Steve we can get jason to put up some stuff and i will get all the people that are sponsors and we can get this rolling.
thanks everyone i think you will like it
